If Not Breastfeeding Is Illegal, Only Criminals Won't Breastfeed

Breast is best, in fact, it's so great, that the United Arab Emirates' legislature, whose members are appointed by each emirate's ruling monarch, has decided that every child should be breastfed until the age of two. And so they passed a Child Rights Law that requires mothers to breastfeed. Mothers who cannot breastfeed for two years will be provided with a wet nurse.

I'm sure there will be no downsides whatsoever for mothers, families, children, or wet nurses, as a result of this new legislation.
